Re: Estimate of PCB Mass in Sediments of Badin Lake
Dear Mr. Case:
URS Corporation(URS)has completed estimates of PCB mass in sediments in the southwest
embayment of Badin Lake near the former Alcoa Badin Works. Sources of sediment PCB data
included the following:
— Sediment PCB data collected by Woodward-Clyde for Alcoa in 1996-1997 (WCC 1997)1
— Sediment PCB data collected by ESI for Stanly County in 2007(ESI 2008)2
— Sediment PCB data collected by URS for Alcoa Power Generating Inc. in 2008 (URS 2009)3
— Sediment PCB data collected by Entrix for Stanly County in 2009 (Entrix 2009)
A summary of PCB data is provided in Table 1. PCB sampling locations and concentrations are
presented in Figure 1 for Badin Lake, and in Figure 2 for a more detailed view of the southwest
embayment of Badin Lake. Key parameters for calculating the PCB mass within a specific area
of interest are sediment surface area,sediment depth,PCB concentration, sediment dry bulk
density, and a mass unit conversion(mg to kg):

The sum of the masses for individual areas of interest represents the total PCB mass. Each of the
inputs is discussed below:
• Area of Interest: The area of interest is the southwest embayment of Badin Lake. PCBs
were not detected in areas outside of the embayment except as reported by Entrix(2009) (see
also Table 1). The 2009 samples collected outside the southwest embayment(samples BL-4
through BL-7) exhibited approximately the same PCB concentrations,ranging from about
0.0107 mg/kg,to 0.0219 mg/kg. The high end of this range was in the northwest arm of
Badin Lake,well upgradient from the Alcoa facility. Based on similarity and low
concentration,these are believed to represent anthropogenic background concentrations.
Interpretation of the 2009 data may also be confounded by blank interferences;much of 2009
data(reported as PCB congeners)was blank qualified,meaning that"the analyte was found
in the associated method blank at a level that is significant with respect to the method result."
Thus,PCBs reported outside the southwest embayment as reported in the 2009 dataset may
also be biased high due to blank interferences. In either case (i.e.,whether general
anthropogenic background or blank interferences), it was not a goal of this effort to
quantitate background levels.
Samples collected along Transect 2 (samples T2-Sed-0 and T2-Sed-1C,Table 1) from the
URS 2008 sediment investigation were reported as nondetect. These samples were located in
approximately the middle of the southwest embayment just north of the swimming cove(see
Figure 2).Using sediment PCB concentrations as a guide(see Figure 3),a boundary for
defining the overall area of interest was selected by extending a line from the eastern
shoreline of the embayment just east of BL-1 (0.110 mg/kg),north to the east of BL-3 (0.043
mg/kg), and then extending west and north of sample location T2-Sed-1C(nondetect; shown
as sample t2c on Figures 2 and 3),intersecting the west shoreline near sample locations SA-3
and NEP3 (both nondetect). This boundary was used to approximate the location at which
sediment PCBs were nondetect,or at background levels. The area to the south and west of
this boundary defined the area of interest within the southwest embayment.
Subareas within the embayment were developed based on PCB concentration contours
(Figure 3). Areas between contours represent sediments with similar PCB concentrations.
The contours,and sizes of the areas within the contours were generated using Geographic
Information Systems(GIS)software(see discussion regarding PCB concentrations).
• Sediment Depth: There is limited quantitative information regarding depths of sediments
within the southwest embayment(or in other parts of Badin Lake). However, several pieces
of qualitative information provide insight into sediment depth.In the report Preliminary
Sediment and Water Sampling Results from Alcoa's Badin North Carolina Works(WCC
1977),the following is noted relative to sediment sampling within Badin Lake:
"At several of the predetermined[sediment sampling]locations.... sediment was not found.
Indeed, much of the bottom appeared to be exposed rock with softer, depositional substrates
in relatively localized areas (especially in the swimming cove per se). "
Charles D. Case,Partner
Page 3 of 6

WCC(2007) concluded that"soft depositional sediment(mud) is heterogeneously distributed
in the swimming cove and immediate vicinity.... deposits are relatively localized in three
areas." These were"the northern part of the swimming cove; the southern part of the
swimming cove; and the Outfall 011/012 area." The report also noted that"the basically
horizontal circulation observed in the swimming cove area....probably contributes to the
scarcity of depositional sediments and their tendency not to accumulate in the very shallow,
marginal areas". The report also indicated that bathymetric observations revealed relatively
steep side slopes along the margins which tended to minimize accumulations of depositional
sediments along the shore.
In a sediment investigation performed for Stanly County in 2007(ESI 2008),the following is
indicated:
"Sediments were not deep and estimated to be less than two feet in depth."
Thus,there appear to be localized depositional areas within the swimming cove and near
Outfalls 011/012,there are also many areas void of sediments (exposed rock), and in general,
sediments are less than 2 ft deep. Hydrodynamics and bath}nnetry(steep slopes)in the
southwest embayment minimize accumulations of sediments. For purposes of this
evaluation,sediment depths were assumed to average about 0.5 ft.
• Bulk Density: Bulk density was estimated from the measured moisture content of existing
sediment data(Table 2)assuming a particle density of 2600 kg/m3 and water density of 1000
kg/m3. The relationship between wet bulk density and moisture content is:
wet
=Pspw(1+M)
k
PsM I Pw
where ps is the sediment particle density, pw is the water density and M is the moisture
content. The corresponding dry bulk density is:
dry __ Ps Pw
Pbutk PSM +PM,
These formulas were applied to the measured moisture content values for the 2007 (ESI
2008)and 2008 (URS 2009)data sets to estimate bulk densities. Results are shown in Table
2. The median,average,maximum and minimum values for all samples are summarized
below for both wet and dry bulk density estimates.

Median 1598 960
Average 1601 966
Maximum 1758 1217
Minimum 1545 876
PCB concentrations were expressed as mg/kg dry weight; therefore, dry bulk density was
used in estimating PCB mass. The average value of 966 kg/m3 was selected as a
representative dry bulk density value.
• PCB Concentrations—As noted previously, sediment PCB data collected from Badin Lake
are compiled and presented in Table 1. Average PCB concentrations were estimated using
interpolation techniques using GIS software. Sediment samples from nearly all of the
historical sediment PCB investigations were collected from the surface layer(i.e.,up to six
inches). However, a limited number of subsurface samples(NEP3,NEP5,NEP10,NEP17),
referred to as"bottom"samples,were also analyzed for PCBs as reported in WCC(2007).
These were defined as greater than 6 inches and were collected with a hand push corer(so
penetration would still be relatively shallow). For these four sample locations,PCB
concentrations in the surface and bottom samples were averaged for contouring purposes.
The average PCB concentrations for the southern area of Badin Lake were contoured using
the Spatial Analyst Extension of ESRI's ArcGIS 9.3.1. Three interpolation methods are
available for purposes of developing spatial relationships using Spatial Analyst: Spline,
Inverse Distance Weighted(IDW) and Kriging. Spline and IDW are considered
deterministic interpolation methods versus Kriging which is a geostatistical analysis method.
Spline was chosen for this analysis because the distribution of data in the target study area
was sufficient to support generation of a smooth surface.Use of the Spline method is
appropriate because there appears to be a correlation between distance from presumed
sources (i.e., outfalls)and PCB concentration. In addition,because the Spline method
assumes all points are related,the analysis results in more conservative estimates of PCB
concentrations as compared with the IDW approach. During the Spline process, three
additional parameters may be specified to control the output surface; spline type,weight and
the number of points. The spline type specifies which of the derivatives will be weighted
more heavily during surface interpolation. Of the two spline types,regularized and tension,
the tension option was selected. The tension option weights the first derivative calculation
criterion more heavily,thereby resulting in a reasonable approximation of the concentrations
in areas where no data exist. The weight controls the relative smoothness of the surface and
the third parameter,number of points,specifies the number of samples used to calculate a
given cell value in the interpolated surface. The following options were used in this analysis:
weight=25 and number of points= 12. Additional"boundary"conditions in the form of
zero value data points were also added to the data set to control interpolation of the surface.
These points were added:
Charles D. Case,Partner

• at the shoreline;
• to the estimated anthropogenic background boundary, specifically along the eastern
boundary of the area of interest(see discussion above and Figure 3); and,
• to distinguish between source areas (i.e.,to separate Outfalls 011/012 and Outfall 002 as
specific source areas).
All contours and surfaces shown on the figures are presented as generated by the spatial
analysis extension with one exception:the 0.10 mg/kg contour encompassing BL-1. This
point was originally contoured as a single isolated location. However,the direction of
transport is likely from south to north(i.e., in the direction of bathymetric relief[shallow to
deep] and water flow toward the dam);therefore,PCBs measured at this location are more
likely related to the southernmost outfall(Outfall 002). Associating this data point to the
southern data cluster expands the southern 0.10 mg/kg contour and results in a more
conservative estimate of PCB mass.
PCB concentration contours developed using the approach described above are shown in Figure
3 for the southwest embayment. A lake-wide view of the contours is presented in Figure 4.
With the input parameters discussed above(area, sediment depth,bulk density, and PCB
concentration),PCB mass in each subarea(i.e., each subarea being the cumulative area between
sediment PCB contours) of the southwest embayment was calculated as shown in Table 3. Note
that contour areas are shown in Table 3 in 0.25 mg/kg increments. Contours on Figure 3 are
shown in roughly 0.5 to 1 mg/kg increments for ease in visualization. The sum of the PCBs in
each subarea represents an estimate of the total PCB mass in the embayment. At an average
sediment depth of 0.5 ft,total PCB mass was calculated as 7.69 kg.
As with all estimates, there are uncertainties inherent in the assumptions applied. For example,
quantitative information regarding actual sediment depths is unavailable, although qualitative
data were available from which to make reasonable estimates. An average sediment depth of 0.5
ft was assumed;the actual sediment depth may be higher or lower,and alternate depths would
result in a higher or lower estimate of total PCB mass. Concentration contours are also a
function of the available data and mathematical approaches used to interpolate between sample
locations. On balance, the assumptions applied in this evaluation are believed to be reasonable,
and the results provide a reasonably representative estimate of the mass of PCBs in sediments of
the southwest embayment of Badin Lake.
